They are, however, much more likely to prescribe medications for addiction in general, and possibly even medications that are currently being used off-label to treat addiction.

There is another option, as well. There is a thread with relevant and scientifically sound research that you can print out or email to your doctor in an effort to get a prescription from your own physician. This is much more likely to happen if the physician is an addiction specialist, but your General Practitioner may also be willing to prescribe. You will need register or log in to read this content
